Another dish was placed on the table again. Although it was cooked by the chef this time, Li Yuan also ate with great interest.

Although stir-fried dishes have appeared in Jiangnan during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, in general, stir-fried dishes were not mainstream in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. That is because of the appearance of Li Shan, especially Dongshan Restaurant, stir-fried dishes became popular in Chang'an City.

But Li Yuan is a bit pitiful. He has lived in the palace for a long time, so naturally he will not go to the east and west markets. He can eat scrambled eggs with green onions with relish.

It wasn't until he was full that Li Yuan put down his chopsticks. Looking at Li Chengqian's timid appearance, which was full of oil, he smiled and said, "Let's indulge a little today."

"Uncle, Cheng Qian is still young, only seven years old." Li Shan muttered: "I have been controlling him since I was a child..."

"You still have the nerve to say it!" Li Yuan glared and said, "You have led Pingyang's Dalang and Erlang to evil, and by the way, there is also Eleventh Lang!"

"Happiness is the most important thing..." Li Shan chuckled, "If you want to teach, is it useful to read those scriptures?"

"It's better to let him go to the countryside and gain experience, to know how farmers work, how merchants make money, and how soldiers die..."

"Huairen is right." Changsun nodded slightly, "I don't know the sufferings of the people. Even if you have great Confucianism and famous teachers, it will be difficult for you to become a leader."

Li Yuan thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "That's all your husband and wife's business, I don't care."

"Well, when the spring flowers bloom, I will take you and Eleventh Lang, Chai Family Dalang, and Erlang to fly kites." Li Shan gave Li Chengqian a look.

Li Chengqian glanced at Changsun, lowered his head and remained silent...obviously quite afraid of this mother.

After taking away the food, another servant brought tea. Li Yuan took a sip to keep from spitting out... Well, it was all stir-fried greens that Li Shan made by himself. It tasted astringent and had an ugly shape. It was better than high foam. Not much.

"I'll reward you with some good tea cakes later." Li Yuan frowned, "By the way, send two tea boys over from the East Palace."

"Your Majesty, the Princess of Wei is actually good at making tea. Nine times out of ten, she bites the cup." Dou Dan said with a smile, "It's just that Huairen doesn't like tea and only drinks water on weekdays."

Li Yuan thought of Mr. Zhu who had just come to visit him, and sighed: "It's so rough and tough, but with Huairen, he is much better than others."

Just then Li Yuan asked vaguely, but Zhu rejected the reunion with a very firm attitude.

"The subordinate officials of the East Palace have already dealt with it. Erlang doesn't want to be too involved." Li Yuan said quietly: "Below the Crown Prince Yun Wang Gui, Wei Ting, Xu Shimo, Zhao Hongzhi, Li Zhi'an, He Deren, Pei Shiju, Pei Ji and their families were all exiled to Lingnan. If you are pardoned, you will not pay it back."

The word "waiting" naturally refers to Li Dewu... This man who abandoned his wife and children many years ago and climbed into the lap of the Pei family in Hedong is now returning to his old place.

There was nothing special about Li Shan's face. In fact, for him as a time traveler, he just completed the task for his predecessor.

If Li Dewu hadn't insisted on taking action repeatedly, Li Shan wouldn't have bothered to pay attention.

Changsun added: "Only Pei Shuying, Pei Hongda's daughter, escaped into Buddhism, and her father allowed her to practice."

Li Shan didn't say anything. This was the deal he had reached with Pei Shiju.

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shan and said, "Pei Hong has many famous officials in the dynasty, but he has been repeatedly defeated by you. I haven't gone to see him, but the prince has met him twice. It is said that he is convinced."

"We met once last year." Li Shan grinned: "If not... maybe we can get along." "Actually, you and Pei Hongda are quite similar." Li Yuan also felt a little emotional. During most of the pre-Sui period, he They were all living in obscurity out of habit, but Pei Shiju was a famous minister with a reputation all over the country, and now he ended up like this.

"The war is over now, but in the past few days, Chang'an was under martial law, and there were quite a lot of unusual movements in the city." Li Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Li Yuan, the king of Lujiang County, complained..."

Li Shan was a little confused, and Dou Dan on the side came over and whispered a few words... After Li Jiancheng was killed, Li Shimin suggested not to involve too many people, and even included the crown prince Zuo Shuzi Zheng Shanguo, the leader of Li Jiancheng's wife's family, as the prime minister.

However, Li Jiancheng has been in charge of the East Palace for nearly ten years. Although it has become increasingly weak in the past year or two, the forces that rely on him cannot be underestimated. Li Shimin's tolerance has not achieved very good results... Zheng Shanguo treated Li Jiancheng after the Battle of Tiantai Mountain The alienation is also known to many people.

After 70,000 to 80,000 Hu cavalry invaded Jingzhao, there were quite a few changes in the city of Chang'an, and the attitude of the officials in the DPRK and China towards Li Shimin was also quite interesting... On the one hand, it was because they had previously been slightly biased towards Li Jiancheng's position, and on the other hand, Because of their rejection of the forces of Tiance Mansion.

After all, there are only so many official positions. Although there are not many officials in the Tiance Mansion, there are so many forces attached to Li Shimin... one carrot and one pitfall.

Ling Jing and Fang Xuanling snatched away the positions of two prime ministers and assistants at once, and Du Ruhui snatched away the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Naturally, many people were worried, so they were quite repelled by Li Shimin... After all, in the eyes of many people, Li Yuan The emperor's health is quite good, and he will be fine for ten or eight years.

"Your Majesty should consult the Crown Prince and Prime Minister about such important matters. I dare not make false claims." Li Shan naturally did not want to get involved in such matters, but the topic changed, "But I do want to ask for mercy."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I have an old friend who was exiled to Lingnan..."

"Oh, Wei Zheng!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, he laughed and pointed at Li Shan and said: "Huairen is indeed a famous general in the world, he is always good at choosing opportunities."

Changsun lowered his head and thought in his heart that Zheng Shanguo was not qualified, but the former prince Xima Wei Zheng, who once suggested that the prince be deposed and executed, was qualified. Once he returned to the court, he would surely make the courtiers feel at ease.

The main contradiction now is that although Li Shimin does not want to be too involved, the forces of the King of Qin will inevitably collide fiercely with the forces in the original dynasty, and Wei Zheng's return to the dynasty can show Li Shimin's attitude and broadmindedness.

Li Yuan pondered for a long time and nodded: "But, I will ask Erlang later... By the way, Xue Wanche and Feng Li from the East Palace are still in the army now, right?"

"Yes." Li Shan nodded and said, "Feng Li was in Lingzhou, Xue Wanche was in Daizhou... and now he is in Bingzhou."

Li Yuan thought about it in his mind and concluded that these two people could be regarded as confidants of the deposed prince. If Erlang had the courage, he could enlist them in the Bei Ya Forbidden Army to protect the imperial city.

"Huairen is wise, and he will be able to join the central government in a few years." Li Yuan praised with a smile: "It's just that Erlang would rather have Huairen as his commander."

"Uncle, my nephew has just promised his mother that he will not go to the battlefield again." Li Shan said in a very sincere tone: "My mother is worried, the eleventh mother is worried, for her son and her husband..."

"Do you want to destroy the Turks? Don't you want such a great achievement?" Li Yuan sighed: "If Huairen doesn't want it, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of Li Yaoshi."

The corner of Li Shan's mouth moved, and he still mentioned Li Jing!

"Your Majesty, forgive me." Li Shan said dryly: "I know I made a mistake, but I am appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou Road March, and I can take charge of it as a rule."

"Am I going to punish you?" Li Yuan glared, "But now that the Duke has lost all his prestige in the military, you are too arrogant!"

Li Shan didn't say a word, he had already heard the implication of Li Yuan's words.
